ARTHUR, Harold Whiteford NSW

[jadewing]

Happy Easter Folks.

I'm helping a friend with her tree and we're looking for the forebears of her grandfather, Harold Whiteford (or Whitford) ARTHUR b 1896 St Peters NSW, d Sydney 11/12/1974.

Parents: William Henry Arthur d Sydney 1961? & Eliza Ann X.  My money is on Eliza Ann RICHARDS 1861-1915 m. Sydney 1886 but there is also an Eliza A LUKE m 1885 

Sibs: Richard Clinton Arthur 1891-1917 m Stella M. Toope; Gracie Arthur 1887-1961 m Frank Noble 1910.

Married: Amy Olive BETHEL 1899-1966, par: Arthur John BETHEL & Caroline DUNMAN

I've found a possible death of William Henry in Sydney 1961 but nothing more on the Arthur line.

Any help or leads appreciated.

Cheers, Jane

Hi Jane,

Richard's service record gives his home address,  and from that William Henry and Eliza's funeral notices can be found.  Lots of family connections there:

Eliza's parents on her death reg seem to indicate that she was Eliza RICHARDS, but one of her children's birth certs would be the only reliable way of knowing.

I have just seen the RICHARDS surname mentioned in William's funeral notice

Well, those notices certainly give a nice list of family connections, don't they?
